Chapter 1089: The first computer


"Dr. Tommy Ferrols, Dr. Turing, you have made outstanding contributions to our electronic numerical integration and computers. Now, the empire will grant you the honorable title of Holy Aryan!" After the computer had been successfully developed, Cyric could not wait to fly directly from the Wolf Den to the University of Munich and saw the computer in front of him.
As a person who has traveled through later generations, Cyric certainly understands the tremendous role that electronic computers can play. Apart from anything else, with the development of his own ballistic missiles, Dr. Braun has completely grown.
Every time he conducts a flight test, the people in his house have to use a hand-cranked calculator to calculate the last few weeks. This is a very complicated process.
Now, with a computer, everything will be changed!
Dr. Turing, with a clever brain, is the winner of countless titles, what is the father of modern computers, the father of artificial intelligence, etc. At first, after discovering Dr. Turing by accident, Cyric helped to make suggestions and use agents. Falcon, successfully seduced Turing, let Turing obediently work for the empire.
As for the other person, it is the precious wealth of the empire, Dr. Ferrauers, this is an important computer expert comparable to von Neumann!
Generally speaking, in various electronic computer textbooks, Eniac is called the world’s first computer, which was born in the United States in 1946, and Dr. Neumann played a prominent role in the development of computers. For example, until now, all computers have been built according to the von Neumann structure.
However, during the war, it also prompted some countries to develop computers. For example, the United Kingdom believed that its Corusas was the real world's first electronic computer. It was more than two years before the ENIAC computer came out.
In World War II, the German "Lorenz" encryption machine was the main encryption machine used for communication between senior German generals, including Hitler, and it was very difficult to decipher the encrypted password.
The main purpose of developing the "Korosas" computer is to decipher the code encrypted by the "Lorenz" encryption machine. This "Korosas" computer was developed in March 1943 and shipped to Bletchley Park at the end of the same year. On January 10, 1944, the "Korosas" computer started operating.
Of course, from this point of view, it seems a bit too much to call it an electronic computer. After all, it is only used to decipher codes, but the person who developed it is undoubtedly a clever mind. This is Dr. Filaus.
In order to fight for Turing, Cyric used a lot of brains, but Dr. Ferrols made it much easier.
After the occupation of the United Kingdom, Dr. Fernlaus did not leave with George VI. He still stayed in his university. After discovering this man, the Gestapo in Germany quickly found him, hoping that he could cooperate. And he happily agreed.
In this era, there are still many people who know the current affairs. Either follow the annihilation of the old empire or get a new life in the new empire. Dr. Ferrols is obviously the latter.
There are not many computer experts in Germany. With these two people as the backbone, the development of electronic computers in Germany has begun to enter the fast lane. What excites the two is that the German transistor technology has given them a greater display. stage.
Thus, the first generation of computers in Germany appeared.
This computer is still not comparable to later generations of microcomputers. It is a large cabinet, standing in the center of the laboratory, covering an area of ​​less than ten square meters, all plugged in by pieces of circuit boards.
In history, Eniac occupies an area of ​​150 square meters. Compared with this kind of electronic tube computer, the volume of the transistor is much smaller.
"Our first-generation computer uses 17,000 transistors, 600 tubes, 6,000 switches, 7,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 500,000 wires, and consumes 14 kilowatts of power, which can perform 5,000 additions per second. "Dr. Ferrols said to Cyric.
Although a large number of transistors are used, in some circuits, electron tubes are indispensably needed. Such circuits are still relatively large, but they can perform 5,000 operations per second, which is quite an amazing result. He is very satisfied.
Cyric nodded and watched the behemoth humming. The fan in the cabinet was dissipating heat. Cyric looked at the paper tape on one side and was spitting it out continuously, printing the results.
Today's computers are different from later generations. They have no keyboard, no display, and input and output. They all rely on punched paper tape. Of course, this efficiency is low.
Cyrek, who was born in engineering, still knows something about it. Now that electronic computers have just come out, they can use paper to bring input and output, but it is quite inconvenient.
Although various fool-like program tools of later generations are still impossible to achieve, the initial stage should be considered.
"We can invent an assembly language." Cyric said: "In a computer, first design a compiler that uses mnemonics to replace the opcodes of machine instructions, and address symbols or labels to replace instructions or operand addresses. In this way, we can speed up the data input by a hundred times."
The paper tape records zeros and ones, which is quite cumbersome. If you use one language to describe it, it would be much more convenient! Cyric had studied PLC in his previous life~EbookFREE.me~ and was familiar with this kind of assembly language, so I told it now: "For example, we use SHL to represent the logical shift left instruction, followed by The number represents a few bits shifted to the left, and you can directly perform calculations."
Cyric said only this point, and Dr. Filaus had already understood it. Before his eyes, it seemed that something like a keyboard for a typewriter had appeared, and a conversion circuit was installed between the keyboard and the computer. It can be achieved!
This will greatly improve efficiency and reduce the chance of error. The input and output are all perforated paper tapes, which is quite cumbersome.
"Head of Cyric, your wisdom really makes us admire." Dr. Ferrols' eyes gleamed and said to Cyric.
This is where the advantage of the traverser lies. For Cyric, as long as the most obvious ones of later generations are taken out, it is a new idea one by one, and it is absolutely correct, the survival of the fittest, and the wrong ones have long since disappeared in the long river of history.
"I hope you guard against arrogance and rashness, continue to develop new computers, simplify input and output, and your contribution to the empire will be written in history."
These few people will definitely enter the history book. Cyric knows very well that the appearance of electronic computers has completely changed the entire world. At least for now, it is not only the ballistic calculation of ballistic missiles. If it is improved, it can be installed on warships for fire control calculations. When the size is reduced again, it can be installed on airplanes or even tanks.
"Head of Führer Cyric, a new situation has emerged in the Balkans. The Greeks have already reached Albania." After the inspection at the University of Munich and returned to his car, an adjutant came to report to Cyric. ()
